Day 3 was not nearly as exciting as Days 1 and 2. My rice and peppers lunch stared back at me soullessly. I stared back, daring it to make my culinary heart go pitter-pat. It did not. Thankfully, I had just juiced some fresh oranges, grapefruit, and apples. Ahhh! Bliss returns! And the organic sugar scrub I made from the pulp?! Let's just say I had a great shower and leave it at that!
For dinner I added black beans to the mix and made a Cuban-style black beans and rice dish. Much more exciting than lunch! I think I failed to put enough spice in before. I am not quite rice yet. But then I am still struggling to figure out my place on this journey to more whole foods. One change I have noticed already: I have not been tempted to eat out of mere boredom. This is due in part to it being Lent, but also I am more conscious of what goes into my body. I also felt more in tune with my surroundings today. Cool.

Ugh. I just found out that peppers are considered a deadly nightshade, along with . . . . potatoes?!?! NOOOOOOO!!!! What the heck?! Must read more about this. More later!
